The deputy prime minister and minister of Health, Welfare and Sport said Friday during the weekly press conference after the council of ministers.

Derksen announced last week in the tv program Veronica Inside, inter alia, that “gay men should stop pretending that it is so difficult to get out of the closet.” Van Engelshoven left Thursday night to know that they Derksen about this wants to discuss. She called his statements a bit painful. “I like to have a debate with Johan Derksen to ask why he is so protective. Because you know well not that you people with your statements hurt, and you know well not that you people does not help to get out of the closet?” said the D66-minister.
